Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: When tonsillitis occurs in children, what are the common clinical symptoms?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom is usually a sore throat, and the child's swallowing may also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius if severe. It is important to pay attention because in addition to the fever, the child may also experience chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. Moreover, this disease may also lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatism, and joint disease. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take the child to a doctor for treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
